Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

[Merc1]

I bet they changed course on the small g already knowing this. To launch it as an EV only would be suicide now.

100 electric G in two years time. Yeah, all the people...

Yeah all the people.
The average sales for the S class in NL is 11 a month from 1983 to 2025. Almost identical in fact.

Might be an idea to get out of your local local bubble every once in a while.

Sales success? They were only limiting it to 250 units, which are all sold. I’m unsurprised AMG GTR Pro owners weren’t particularly interested, it was a bit of a poseur car. Nothing about the drivetrain or suspension setup was more hard core than the standard SL.

The Mythos isn’t above Maybach necessarily, the sub brand is just about small batches of special edition versions of current product. They aren’t going to create entirely bespoke versions of their cars like Rolls Royce and Ferrari, so they have this instead.

Most of the guys in my AMG GTR owners group have multiple vehicles, including proper track specials, amg one, ferraris, GT Blackseries, SLS.

Actually just asked the guy, he bought it, 750k, said its not getting drive and just parked up next to his 1965 ferrari 275 gtb and jag e-type.

Uncompromising AMG begins cold-weather testing in Sweden

• Second model of the exclusive Mercedes‑Benz Mythos series enters testing
• Cold-weather tests in Sweden highlight the extreme character of the yet-to-be-unveiled AMG model
• Based on the popular CLE series and ready to take centre stage

Even under full camouflage and in the dim light of a Scandinavian winter, one thing is immediately clear: an exceptionally extreme Mercedes‑AMG is charging through the snow. The performance and sports car brand is currently putting a...

Fingers crossed they get this right. It could be a huge new segment in the USA. The ride, interior, engines, EV tech and most of all engineer out that the horrible cheap sound that cargo van doors make when you slam them.

It's Mercedes...They'll do the absolute minimum they can do with its van underpinnings to justify selling it as a luxury 'passenger' vehicle.

I'm not expecting much effort in terms of engineering, with the concept once again being a big tease.

Think GLS, X-class etc.

They hating on Mercedes cause they can’t know all their favourite car makers can’t keep up

I can’t even find words to describe the absurdity of this comment. Do you think any user on here cares that deeply? That would make sense if we were 5 years old or something. Please.

The V-Class was never sold in US right?

Vito is sold under the name Metris.

Same advice to you, in your local Randstad bubbel.

Sales success? They were only limiting it to 250 units, which are all sold.

Where did you get that information? They never announced in the media that it was sold out; on the contrary, they were quite silent about it, but perhaps I missed it.

 

[leylandi]

Production plans exist for 250 such speedsters. All production slots have already been sold out via preorders, despite the fact that the first examples won’t ship until next year.

Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed spied testing

Mercedes-AMG started unveiling its Mythos lineup of exclusive supercars in May this year, showing us a concept called PureSpeed. It has now been photographed on the street, and the company has supplied some additional info.

it will have air suspension, rear-steering & a VLS Maybach-like 4 seater version is coming

I can tell you one thing a Maybach style V class would sell in south Africa among the elite who buy it here..

This is a very popular van in SA

i know! i am from here, Mzansi leaders like travelling in style.

 

[Esp5]

Objectively speaking, and without letting passion cloud our judgment, these types of vans are just as, if not more comfortable for long journeys than a sedan. The interior space and the "soft" suspension make a world of difference. On the other hand, the inevitable inertia in curves due to the high center of gravity is a drawback.
Space is their biggest selling point in terms of "luxury."

 

[Uygar]

VIP’s in Turkiye would love it too, since it’s the only van they use. Very popular indeed.

Yeah super popular especially in Gauteng in my area I see them daily.

I went to see the face-lift I must say I would not mind being driven in one of those from gauteng to Cape Town through the garden route the interior is very luxurious and spacious.
